[development] Please stop using git diff --no-prefix. -p1 patches are now the standard

[Guillaume]

This doc needs to be fixed then:
http://drupal.org/patch/create

It says to use:
diff -up path/to/file/example.module path/to/file/exampleNew.module >
mypatchname.patch

Which produces p0 patches :(.
